Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

"..."

Chris took the terminal and found a message from his superior at BSAA. He opened it and read it carefully.

"Well done, Chris. Your operations in the Big Bend and McPherson areas were excellent. Your series of operations have now been successfully completed. In recognition of your performance, headquarters has applied to the Secretary of Defense for a month's leave for you and all members of your team, and it has been approved. The helicopter will arrive in an hour. I wish you a pleasant vacation after this intense mission... What?!"

Like Pierce, Chris slammed the terminal on the table, but soon after, other members of his squad entered the tent, asking about the text.

"What exactly happened, Captain? This doesn't look like a holiday; it looks more like he's been dismissed!"

"Yeah, what's going on? The mission is obviously not finished yet, right?"

"What the hell new decision has been made from above? Has the cooperation been terminated?"

The chatter in the military tent was chaotic, and discontent finally flared up. Chris slammed his fist on the table again, his anger barely contained...

"Enough! I'll call the Minister of Defense myself and get to the bottom of this!"

After saying that, he took his phone and walked out of the tent alone, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

......

A series of inexplicable messages and instructions were indeed annoying. Even when facing the Secretary of Defense, Chris's attitude was not friendly. At least in his opinion, this kind of holiday notice usually did not mean anything good.

“Minister, I have doubts about this order. Why terminate my team’s participation in this mission? Is there a better candidate than me? Or has the plan changed?”

Chris expressed his dissatisfaction directly, without even exchanging the proper greetings between superiors and subordinates.

"Ah, you're... Chris, right?" A casual voice came from the other end: "Emmmm... I don't understand why you have objections to this order. Is the leave arrangement after the operation unreasonable? Or have you misinterpreted the order? Don't worry, Sergeant Chris, after your leave, you can still continue to carry out missions in your original capacity, with your squad members."

"What I need is a reason! Why won't you let me participate?! I've received word that nearby squadrons are heading towards the target location, and there's even news of western fighter jets taking off. What exactly are you planning to do? Isn't the contents of that document enough to make a final decision? What else do you need to find?!"

Chris was furious, and the Secretary of Defense's attitude only added fuel to the fire, as if this decisive operation was nothing but a joke. Even the A10 had been deployed—wasn't that enough to demonstrate the seriousness of the situation? And yet they were isolated...

But after that, the dear minister seemed to suddenly realize something and even laughed for no apparent reason.

This puzzled Chris even more. Why?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sergeant Chris, it seems I haven't had a chance to explain our next steps to you yet?"

"Arrangements? What arrangements?"

The middle-aged man, whose large belly was easily recognizable by his voice, took a sip of coffee and spoke in a deep voice: "Regarding the documents provided by this stranger, the Department of Defense, the President, the White Eagle Eco-Security Department, and the House of Representatives have discussed the matter and unanimously agreed that Umbrella's scientific research can still have a highly effective positive impact on White Eagle's international standing and national defense security. Therefore, we have re-examined our cooperation agreement with Umbrella, and our friendly friend, Umbrella's representative, Albert Wesker, has also expressed a very friendly willingness to cooperate. The agreement was revised eight hours ago, and with its implementation, the issue of positions has changed accordingly. In other words, those strangers... they have made White Eagle realize that the giants of the existing medical system still possess such a massive scale and technology, and that within White Eagle's existing quarantine zones, there exists an invisible and intangible unidentified organization. This means that their existence is one of White Eagle's greatest threats."

......

Ha... Ha... Hoo...!

With heavy breathing, Pierce approached the captain from behind and saw his face contorted with rage, and his eyes bulging blood red, almost popping out of their sockets.

"What happened, Captain?"

But Chris acted as if he hadn't heard, still gripping his phone tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "You...you damn...how the hell could you?! You want to include those BOWs in the national defense and security program, making those scum and monsters serve you?!"

"No, no, no, Sergeant Chris, you must understand that as soldiers, national security is paramount. We are simply protecting the sacred and inviolable private property of our people in a new way, and no one objects to that. Besides, the long-standing political problems between White Eagle and Gloria should be resolved in another way. As for you, Sergeant Chris, if you speak rudely again, I may have to consider extending your leave appropriately."

Before Chris could ask any more questions, the call ended...

......

"What happened? What did the minister say?... Captain?"

......

"Fuck you!!!"

Chris slammed the phone to the ground, then, as if remembering something, pulled out another brand-new phone from his pocket, walked aside, and frantically tapped on it...

"Damn it, why aren't they answering the phone? Did they carry the jammer with them? Damn it, damn it...! Right, don't they have a third female commander? Let's try contacting her..."

The light and shadow of the A10 seemed to be trailing along the horizon. Chris stared intently at the sky until the call finally connected...

"Hello! Can you hear me? Hello?"

"Hey! Can you hear me?! Please respond if you hear me!!"

"Damn it, the signal is jammed! No matter what, evacuate from there immediately!"

"You have been betrayed!!!"

An angry roar echoed through the night sky, but was quickly drowned out by the roar of the A10, disappearing without a trace...

710 Surrounding

"Let's go, it's time to go out."

Returning to the surface via elevator, the air seemed fresh again. Hilde seemed very curious about everything before her and began to breathe deeply. After meeting up with the team members who remained on the first floor, Lovan and the Rebellious Squad quietly observed the situation in front of the gate.

"Intense fighting has broken out nearby... Has the operation been brought forward?"

AK12 whispered, and the group did not leave the hospital immediately. The scene before them inevitably aroused suspicion. They had not received a report from Helian immediately. Under the circumstances of uncertainty, no one dared to move freely within the military's encirclement.

"Could it be that they were discovered by the Night Demon and forced to open fire in self-defense?"

"...No, the gunfire was quite large-scale; it was at least a massive suppression of fire."

After careful consideration, AK15 rejected AN94's hypothesis.

But 45 suddenly reached out to stop everyone and said in a deep voice, "Wait, what's that sound?"

The scene fell silent again, and everyone began to carefully observe the movements that 45 had noticed. As for the so-called source of the sound, it was not difficult to detect in the quiet night. Several black arcs of light gradually approaching in the sky began to appear in their field of vision.

"What is that thing...?"

Luo Fan squinted, trying to see the rapidly approaching shadow in the sky, but after less than two seconds, curiosity turned into fear, while Sirius and the alchemist beside him pulled him back to the inside of the hospital at an even faster speed.

"Fuck me!"

Immediately following was a deafening roar of bullets pounding the ground, and just seconds later, the classic whistling sound of the A10...

Looking around, the girls quickly took cover, and the metrologist and AR18 pulled Hilda behind the nearest cover.

Fortunately, the impact wasn't on their heads; the target was a nearby block. But... was this support? Did the military start an operation prematurely without any markings?

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Anjie stumbled as she hastily dodged, and anger welled up inside her.

Although no one was accidentally injured, the operation, which began prematurely without prior notice, was dangerous enough, and the constant firefights raised serious suspicions...

“Commander, I suggest you reconsider the steps of this cooperation,” AR18, having confirmed that Hilde was safe, returned to Lovan with a furrowed brow. “We may need to get out of here as soon as possible.”

"......you're right."

Luo Fan could not deny that although the cooperation with the military had been quite pleasant and effective in the past, given their sensitive status, once a contract was broken, they would have to sever ties with the military and cut off any possibility of being discovered.

【Snapped】

So, the terminal provided by Chris was smashed to pieces by Lovan himself, and 45, seeing this, also threw the signal gun from his waist into the nearby pile of rubble.

After dealing with the risks, Luo Fan's expression turned unusually stern: "Let's go, go and meet up with Helian and the others, and protect Hilde."

The girls had no objections and took advantage of the lull after the attack to begin their operation. They moved in the direction Helian had moved, avoiding zombies and circling around wreckage, running non-stop.

"Wow, this is for real..."

After passing the A10 strike site, MDR looked at the devastated streets and couldn't help but feel tense. He had never participated in a war of this scale before, and it was normal for him to find it hard to accept being there in person.

But the veterans like the Defiant Squad, Squad 404, AR18, and Sangvis Ferri were quite familiar with this situation and didn't show any tension. They only had doubts about the current situation. Could something have gone wrong? Where was Chris?

"Enemy encountered! Enemy encountered!"

As they passed through an alley, the girls and the approaching people on the other side shouted out almost simultaneously, followed by a fierce firefight. With faster reaction times and stronger suppression, the other side was shot dead on the spot before they could even get into cover.

But that outfit certainly doesn't make you feel relaxed...

416 immediately stepped forward to check, and after confirming, gritted his teeth: "Damn it, it's the military..."

“I saw it clearly,” the metrologist nodded, “They were the ones who raised their guns first.”

"Huh? Does that mean we accidentally hit one of our own? Or that we've completely fallen out?"

The architects even had the leisure to make jokes, but no one can relax these days.

Before I could even voice my suspicions, another piece of bad news came through the earpiece, leaving me breathless...

"Commander, how are you all doing now?!"

The speaker was NTW. At this moment, you could still hear her running across the solid wood floor, as well as the sounds of shattering glass and whistling bullets all around.

"We're fine, what happened? What happened where you are?"

"Uh! The military unilaterally broke the cooperation and opened fire on us first. All the groups were hit, and I also clashed with the military snipers. I am trying my best to eliminate the threat of the military snipers."

what?

Everything happened so fast, there wasn't even time to ask what happened...

"Commander, Commander! Are you out?! We need support! Uh... Oh! I'm the Destroyer!"

The Destroyer's childish voice urgently joined the channel, screaming loudly with a tone even more urgent and tense than NTW's. Luo Fan had only seen such a frightened Destroyer in the main story of Girls' Frontline, but there was no voice acting for it. Now that it was coming to his ears, Luo Fan was extremely anxious.

"We're out! What happened? Were you attacked too?!"

"SP9...she's lost so much coolant, and the Executioner and Ouroboros were scattered because of those monsters and us...Waaah!" The voice sounded like a sob: "The grenades kept us in the military's sights. I don't have any light weapons, I can only use SP9's weapons, but...but...! Commander, I promise I'll never cause trouble again, okay? Please come and help us...!"

"Hang in there a little longer! We'll figure out a way to get across right away!"

......

On the other side, the saboteurs had to hang up hastily after calling for help. SP9 was now seriously injured due to the dual attacks from the military and zombies. The two separated could only rely on each other to escape from this predicament.

"You...you shouldn't have protected me! I'm a Sangvis Ferri Doll; a few machine gun bullets can't hurt me at all!!"

Her petite frame carried a girl who was taller than her. She gritted her teeth, trying to hold back the hot tears welling up in her mechanical body. The same military, the same helplessness, filled her mind.

But SP9 just chuckled twice: "Who told you to be so small? It subconsciously makes people think you're very fragile."

Even though her face was severely dented from machine gun fire, and sparks were still flying from the corners of her eyes...

711 Wrath

The zombies continued their encirclement, and when light weapons became clearly ineffective, the saboteurs would continue to use grenades to deal with them.

However......

"They're here! Not far off. Make sure they're dead!"

The military would immediately follow the sound and unleash an even more frenzied barrage of fire on them. Without the executioner's shield for protection, the Destroyer alone, armed only with a grenade launcher, would be no match for them, not to mention the SP9 on her back, who was almost rendered immobile.

"How about you leave me here... and lend me a grenade launcher while you're at it. I haven't used any heavy weapons since I started working as a bodyguard android."

"You...! I would have reconsidered if you were any of the members of those three squads. What use is a bodyguard like you here?! And do you believe the commander would drag you back from here by the legs? To avoid that, I'm going to drag you back first!"

Indeed, it was dragging, since the problem caused by her height was unavoidable. Even if the Destroyer wanted to carry SP9 on her back, her feet still had to drag on the ground, which looked somewhat comical.

But this is no longer the biggest concern for SP9...

"Ugh, damn it... my vision module is damaged, and my fire control system is slightly damaged too, so I can't aim accurately..."

"Then why are you still showing off?"

"Howitzers don't need to be too accurate in this situation, do they? Besides, with your style, you can't guarantee that every shot will hit the target."

"I... Damn it! Just shut up, I'm going to drag you to the commander and then he'll praise me afterwards!"

However, the lighthearted banter didn't last long. Night Demons rose up again from all sides, howling at the two running figures, and attacked them like wolves and tigers.

"It's over..."

The destroyer stood still, never imagining that one day she would be helpless in the face of these monsters.

Where is the commander...? Why hasn't the commander arrived yet...?

They're getting closer and closer to these monsters. What should we do? How can we deal with them while protecting ourselves and SP9? We can't use heavy weapons at this distance. If we engage them in close combat, what about SP9?

The Night Demon gave her no time to think; after a brief roar, it lunged at the two of them with trembling mandibles.

It seems it really is over...

"commander!"

【Puff】

Eh?

[Pfft, pfft]
